Even after dealing with the immediate aftermath of an auto accident you will still have to handle insurance claims and collision repairs. Preparation is the best defense for emergencies, and we here at Schiro’s Collision Repairs have compiled this brief guide to help clients in the Chatsworth and North Hollywood areas expedite the claims filing process and receive timely accident repairs. Take a look below to learn more:
Immediately After The Accident
It is important to first secure necessary medical attention and contact authorities about the accident, both to establish a police record and, if applicable, a medical record of any bodily injuries. Insurance adjusters will later examine this information to determine fault and the amount of compensation that you and, if you are at fault, the other party are entitled to.
Filing an At-Fault/Not-at-Fault Claim
The at-fault party’s insurance provider will be responsible for handling the cost of auto body repair and possibly any bodily injuries, but all parties involved will still have to report the accident to their own respective insurers. When contacting your own insurer, it can be helpful to have the following information handy:
Most insurers will have a claims adjuster assess the cost of repairs, though many still recommend receiving a professional damage estimate from an auto body repair shop.
Repairing Your Car
Under the California Auto Body Repair Consumer Bill of Rights, you are entitled to select your own registered auto body repair shop for accident repairs. Be aware that even if you are not at fault, then it may be several weeks until you actually receive a check after the accident (if your insurance company decides to recover your deductible), during which time you may have to cover the deductible cost for repairs.
